Dark Harbor 20

A timeless beauty.

Photos By Tricia Ladd

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

Against a murky backdrop of global turmoil, traditions bring a sense of security; the players may change, but the traditions remain, unifying, nurturing, and maintaining connections to past generations.

One-design racing in summer communities up and down the coast of Maine is such a tradition, including on Islesboro, where Dark Harbor 20s have been racing for 85 years. The races are a joy to view, as much as it is to be aboard. For many, the 20s are as much of a cherished island icon as the Grindle Point Lighthouse. “To me, the 20 represents more than just a boat,” said Stanley Pendleton, founder of Pendleton Yacht Yard on Islesboro. “It is part of the life I have grown up with—it speaks of the life we have in Islesboro, and the history of the life we have been nurturing for the last century.”

The DH 20s came into existence after 1934, when naval architect and classic boat sailor/designer Clinton Crane led the Tarratine Yacht Club of Islesboro in the search for a new class of racing sailboat to replace the gaff-rigged Dark Harbor 17s. He introduced the club to Olin Stephens II of Sparkman and Stephens. The young MIT-educated designer was beginning to attract attention for designing the record-breaking yawl Dorade ; he had also designed Gimcrack , one of the first boats whose design was tank tested at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey. The findings would go on to be called the “Gimcrack Coefficients”—a pivotal breakthrough in the science of predicting sailing yacht performance.

Stephens, who would become one of the most successful and influential yacht designers of the 20th century, was at the frontier of scientific yacht design focused on speed. The Dark Harbor 20 was a beneficiary. He used the Gimcrack findings to help design the new class, and the result was an immediate success. Reported Stephens, “They are nimble, exciting to race, and typically carry a crew of three in addition to the skipper. Displacement is light, and beam is moderate towards narrow; the hull easily driven. The boats are also attractive in appearance, as would be expected of a class sailed in this stylish and long-established enclave.” In the words of an island veteran at the time, the Dark Harbor 20 “turns on a dime and gives you change!”

Today, more than 80 years later, the DH 20s remain fast, responsive, and easy to handle. The current Islesboro racing fleet numbers 24 boats. Distinctively sleek, they have a narrow fin keel hull with long overhangs and a tall Marconi rig. Add custom craftsmanship, bronze fittings, and varnished mahogany brightwork, and you have all the characteristics of a timeless beauty.

During the 1930s, the first 16 DH 20s were built by George Lawley & Son in Massachusetts; five more were built after World War II by S. B. Norton & Son on 700 Acre Island at what is now Dark Harbor Boat Yard. All but one of these original boats remain today. “That so many of the inaugural fleet are still sailing is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Steve White, former president of Mystic Seaport Museum.

In 2003, over concerns about rising maintenance-and-repair costs, a “Save the Dark Harbor 20” campaign was initiated to preserve the fleet by researching a fiberglass version of the original boats, which were showing signs of age. Sparkman & Stephens re-engineered the design and Shaw Yachts of Thomaston, Maine, built four new boats using modern fiberglass materials and production techniques. The objective from the start was that the boats be identical in all relevant aspects to the original wooden boats to preserve their classic feel and ensure fair competition.

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

Mystic Seaport Museum honored Dark Harbor 20 sailors in 2018 for their commitment to preserving and maintaining a significant class of American sailing craft, and presented them with the William Avery Baker Award, “given to promote the awareness and appreciation of fine examples of one-design classes or boats, foster faithful preservation and restoration, encourage more people to do it, and keep boats alive and in use.”

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

In 2019, Pendleton Yacht Yard built a fiberglass DH 20 using parts from an original wooden hull, including the lead keel, deck house/coaming, tiller/rudder post, varnished mahogany bulkhead, seats, spars, and fittings, as well as the original Lawley bronze castings from 1935.  The result was a new fiberglass boat with the patina of age, and a hint of the past; Shearwater ( previously named New Wave ) was welcomed by the fleet two summers ago.

“The 20s have traditionally been handed down from one generation to the next,” explained Pendleton, “but we have secured hull No.6 for restoration or refit with a fiberglass hull, and are committed to preserving the authenticity of this special racing class.”

Today, PYY maintains and services the largest fleet of DH20s and is building additional new fiberglass versions of the boat, reviving Shaw’s original mold with what Pendleton calls a “modern twist.” The carvel-planked hulls, canvas-covered decks, and drifted oak rudder blades are being made of hand-laid fiberglass. The intention of each modification is to make the boats race and look the same as the originals.

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

Even on its mooring, the Dark Harbor 20 is a photographer’s dream, a most graceful and tranquil seascape subject. But on any Friday or Saturday summer afternoon, the 20 is primed for racing, and the air is charged with anticipation. Keenly competitive skippers and crews maneuver at the race start, and a loyal following of spectator boats keeps  up with the action right to the cannon blast heralding the victor at the finish line.

The Tarratine Yacht Club offered its first silver sailing cup in 1899 for a series of Saturday races in a class for “raceabouts.” Rooted in this 127-year-old heritage, the DH 20 stands as a symbol of stability.

“Tradition” comes from the Latin verb “trader,” meaning “to give for safekeeping.” Surely the Dark Harbor 20 is a tradition that has tied together generations who have kept the class safe and sound for future enjoyment.

The Tarratine Club

A restaurant and event space that was home to bangor’s elite “millionaire’s club” for over 100 years.

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

The Tarratine Club was a private men’s social club in Bangor. It was founded in 1884 and served Bangor’s wealthy and elite for over a century until it closed in 1991. It was once said that if you were a prominent Bangor businessman, you probably were a member of the Tarratine. After it was sold, it changed hands a few times and is currently a restaurant and wedding venue that retains much of its old charm.

The Founding of the Club

In 1884, 31 of Bangor’s movers and shakers banded together to create the Tarratine Club. One of the co-founders, who immediately became the first President of the club, was Hannibal Hamlin. Hannibal was Vice President under Abraham Lincoln and a was perhaps the most prominent feature of Bangor society and politics for many years. You can read all about Hannibal and his fellow politicians from Paris Hill over here . He’s also mentioned in this piece about the Hamlin Memorial Library .

When the club was founded, the members met in a few rooms they rented in a building in the former Hatch Block. They chose the name “Tarratine” and it is assumed that it was the old Colonial term used by the British to refer to the Mi’kmaq tribe of Native Americans inhabiting northern New England, particularly coastal Maine. Another similarly named but unrelated club, the Tarratine Yacht Club, was formed on Islesboro in 1896.

Death by Pedro

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

On July 4th, 1891, club members were at the Tarratine celebrating Independence Day. Hannibal Hamlin, who was 82 and quite frail, was playing cards with friends (likely whist or pedro) as he did every afternoon. He suddenly dropped his cards and his head fell to the table, his face purple and his hands clenched. One of the members who was a physician “administered a dose of brandy and ammonia” which temporarily revived him, but then he quickly fell unconscious. He was moved to his house but died later that evening, lying on his favorite couch – which has rather oddly been on display at the Bangor Public Library for some time.

Move to Park Street

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

Not content with rented space, the members commissioned the design and construction of a new building by the firm Parker and Thomas of Boston. The new building was a 3 story “Harvard brick” building built on a lot at 81 Park Street that afforded lovely views of downtown Bangor. The outside of the building looks much like it did then, with ornate features and wrought iron railings with gold “TC” prominently. The second floor contained the locker room for the club members, the cribbage room, library and the grand ballroom. The third floor featured the game room including the snooker table.

Surviving the Great Fire of 1911

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

On April 30, 1911, a fire broke out in Bangor and high winds quickly spread it across downtown. It was a devastating fire with a glow that could be seen for miles away. Fire crews were called in by telegram from Lewiston, Portland and even Boston and firemen immediately hopped on trains to lend aid. Luckily, a light rain began that evening that helped suppress the fire or it likely would have been worse. By the time the fire was finally put it out the next day, it had destroyed most of downtown Bangor. Over 100 businesses, 285 homes, and many prominent buildings were destroyed including the Post Office, the Custom House, Bangor High School, the Bangor Public Library and its 70,000 volumes and the Bangor Historical Society. The fire spread so fast that the city dynamited some buildings in an attempt to slow the fire. Somehow, the Tarratine Club was spared even though it was in the middle of the burn zone.

Booze Lockers

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

In 1846, Maine became the first state to pass temperance laws banning the sale and consumption of alcohol other than for medical purposes. Portland Mayor Neil Dow, the “Father of Prohibition,” helped start the national temperance movement that culminated in the well-known Federal Prohibition that lasted from 1920-1933. Much of Bangor, however, did not exactly agree with Mr. Dow and his fiery friends and openly defied Maine’s laws. Saloons and brothels popped up all over Bangor and actually thrived by paying twice-annual fines known as the “Bangor Plan.” Private clubs like the Tarratine found different ways of getting by. The Tarratine installed and rented wood lockers ($2/year) to its members where they happened to keep their personal supply of alcohol. This likely top shelf booze was liberally shared and consumed on the premises by its upstanding members while they played pool and cards and discussed the news of the day.

You can read all about the Bangor Plan over here .

The USO Takes Over

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

During World War II, Bangor’s Dow Airfield became the home of a U.S. Army base. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had previously called for the creation of the United Service Organization (USO) in 1941 “to aid in the war and defense program of the United States and its allies by serving the religious, spiritual welfare and educational needs of the men and women in the armed forces and defense industries, and in general to contribute to the maintenance of morale in American communities.” The Bangor branch of the USO determined that their West Broadway location wasn’t big enough so in 1943, they completely took over the Tarratine Club. The new USO was open 24 hours a day and for the duration of the war, entertained soldiers on Park Street. They served food, hosted dances, jitterbug contests, put on musicals, and even had fashion shows featuring WAACs from the base modeling clothes from local merchants. After the war ended, the USO shut down and the club reverted to its members.

Decline and Sale

Like many private clubs, the Tarratine slowly faded away. The lumber barons and Bangor businessmen died out and Bangor’s status declined. Into the 1980s, the club was still active and employed cooks and hosted regular classical music concerts. Eventually, declining membership forced the club to close for good in 1991. The building was bought by Kork Systems, a Bangor-based software company. That company changed hands twice more, and eventually the building was put up for sale in 2003.

It’s a Nice Place for a White Wedding

tarratine yacht club islesboro maine

The building was purchased by Bob and Patricia Quirk (of Quirk Auto Group) who intended to use it as a residence. Instead, they restored many of the original features and opened it as The Tarratine which serves as a restaurant and space for weddings and events. The roof deck is perfect for enjoying a sunset cocktail while gazing over the Bangor skyline.
